Ordering and self-organization are critical in determining the dynamics of reaction-diffusion systems. Here we show a unique pattern formation mechanism, dictated by the coupling of thermodynamic ...

Complex behaviour in many systems arises from the stochastic interactions of spatially distributed particles or agents. Stochastic reaction–diffusion processes are widely used to model such behaviour ...

A drop of dye added to a glass of water undergoes ordinary diffusion. However, when placed on the surface of a foam, the dye ...

What do chemical reactions, epidemics and vegetation have in common? More than you might think, says mathematician Mark van ...

Thermoelectric technology enables the direct conversion between heat and electricity based on the Seebeck and Peltier effects, and can be used for both power generation and refrigeration. However, the ...
